Information, Communications, and the Digital Economy Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo torched former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for running revenge politics with a zero development agenda. Kabogo unloaded during a public forum at Kianwe Primary School in Ndia, Kirinyaga West, telling residents that Mt Kenya is already banking real gains under President William Ruto's administration. He warned that divisive political narratives could wreck ongoing development progress.
The ICT CS trashed Gachagua's push for a one-term presidency as reckless and destructive, arguing it kills stability and progress. Kabogo insisted Ruto showed clear leadership, solid development vision, and genuine commitment to lifting up Mt Kenya and the rest of the country. He said Mt Kenya is safer and better off with Ruto in charge, while Gachagua has no plan for the country, just revenge politics instead of real leadership. He pushed residents to judge leadership through results rather than emotions or personal grudges.
Kabogo spotlighted several infrastructure and social projects rolling out under Kenya Kwanza, saying they prove the government focuses on delivery. The Nairobi-Thika Expressway expansion will ease traffic jams and boost trade and economic activity across the region. He backed the affordable housing program, noting it created thousands of jobs for young people while giving regular Kenyans access to decent and cheap homes.
Kabogo shared a story about a woman who came to him after her landlord locked her out over unpaid rent. He contacted PS Charles Hinga, and the woman now lives well in a decent house she can afford, showing the Kenya Kwanza difference. He argued these outcomes demonstrate the administration's commitment to improving lives, especially for vulnerable citizens.
The CS firmly rejected calls for a single-term presidency, urging Mt Kenya residents not to ditch a working government because of political bitterness. He said darkness can't chase darkness, only light can, encouraging voters to focus on continuity, stability, and development instead of divisive rhetoric. Kabogo praised the Nyota Programme as a transformative push that empowers young people through business financing access, entrepreneurship promotion, and sustainable job creation.
